Abstract

The contemporary university education is a stress test for young generations to be prepared for a career in a society with fast digitalization and technological changes
The absence of a direct need to leave the workplace or place of residence provides an increasing opportunity for its use by managers, professionals and people studying in the context of the concept of "lifelong learning". All this is integrated under the framework of national regulation of distance learning in higher education
The main aim of the paper is to analyse the Bulgarian experience in the national regulation of distance learning in higher education from the first national ordinance from 2004 and the new Cvid-19 in medias ordinance from 2021
